Chapter 98 Soul Master Competition
"Soul Master Competition?"

Tang San curled his fingers slightly when he heard this.

He had heard of this competition, which was a top-level event that brought together the young talents of the entire continent. He couldn't help but be tempted to go and see the style of the continent's top young generation.

Gula weighed the pros and cons and felt safe. He rubbed the storage bag at his waist, his fingertips brushing against the mithril lock.

"It's a rare opportunity."

He thought of the rare materials that gathered in Tiandou City during every competition. If he could save himself the trouble of running around to collect them, it would definitely be worth the trip.

Dai Mubai was surprised and said, "It costs money to go to Tiandou City. Accommodation is a big expense during the competition."

"Dean, when did you become so generous..."

He paused, regretting that he was distracted and spoke without thinking.

Flanders crystal lenses shone with a dazzling white light, and he said with a forced smile, "Mu Bai, I haven't taught you any lessons since your breakthrough. That's my negligence. Wait a minute, don't leave. I'll help you loosen up your muscles. Don't leave any hidden injuries."

Dai Mubai didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his junior, but facing Flender's "kind" gaze, he still lowered his head and said, "Dean, I was wrong, isn't that okay? You are the best dean."

"Bah, corny."

Xiao Wu whispered softly, but with the hearing ability of a soul master, everyone present heard it clearly.

Dai Mubai's face was pale and blue, looking very ugly. He felt that he had been unlucky recently and always encountered bad luck.

"OK OK."

Flanders waved his hand and said, "Someone will provide us with accommodation. Just go there."

"You guys continue training, I'll go get Hongjun and the others back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Flanders left the training ground and flew high.

One month later. Tiandou Empire official road.

Ma Hongjun collapsed on the gilded cushion and wailed, "Those black-hearted businessmen, do they really think I'm made of iron?"

"Oh my! My arms and legs hurt all over. I'm so tired! What a bunch of animals! For a little money, they don't treat me like a human being and work me to death."

His originally round waist had shrunk considerably, and his silk shirt hung loosely on him. Beside him, Oscar was closing his eyes, regulating his breathing, his once cynical features now revealing a sharp edge.

Ma Hongjun had a very difficult time over the past month. In order to make money, he even took on jobs of sparring with soul masters. If it weren't for Oscar's treatment, he would have died of exhaustion long ago.

Oscar was not having an easy time either. In more than a month, his soul power was exhausted hundreds of times and he fell into a coma seven or eight times. He was rescued by Shao Xin every time, and he became much more passive and calm.

Moreover, in order to practice stick techniques, he was beaten many times in the fighting arena.

Flanders found them a month ago and waited for them for a month before setting off. During this period, the two suffered a lot, but it was all worth it.

Ma Hongjun had obviously lost weight, and Oscar's eyes were determined. When he released his soul skills, he wished he could use one soul power as twice as much.

Xiao Wu covered her ears. "Stop complaining, it's so annoying. By the way, how much money did you make? How many energy cubes can you buy?"

Her words were undoubtedly a dagger in the hearts of the two men.

Their cultivation level is only at the first or second level, so what good jobs can they find? Most of them are hard work, or jobs that will hurt themselves.

Even so, the combined earnings of the two were less than a thousand gold soul coins, which were all spent on buying ten boxes of energy cubes.

"Brother Gu, please have pity on us. Can you give us credit and we will pay you back slowly?" Ma Hongjun stared at Gula pitifully. Unfortunately, although he was a little thinner, he was still not a handsome guy, and was not as good-looking as a beautiful woman.

Gula was bored and said casually, "It depends on your performance. If you can complete all the training and correct your previous bad habits."

"When the time comes, let alone giving you credit, I'll even give you a 30% discount."

Oscar was moved when he heard this. Only after tasting the energy cube could he know how much amazing energy the tiny cube contained. The material used was definitely very precious.

His eyes were determined. "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to give me a discount. I can't ask you to pay me out of my own pocket. I believe that with hard work, I can repay my debt."

Ma Hongjun's originally pleasantly surprised expression suddenly faded, and he agreed: "...Yes, we don't need a discount."

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun almost burst into tears. Why did Xiao Ao care about face at this time? If it were him, he would have agreed directly.

Everyone was chatting, without any pressure, as they gradually approached Tiandou City.

A hundred-meter-high blue-gray stone wall stretches across the end of the plain like a giant dragon, and the midday sun cuts a sharp boundary between light and dark on the wall.

All four gates of Tiandou City were open at this moment, and a huge crowd of people was still surging under the wall like a swarm of ants.

The silver-armored guards who were maintaining order were squeezed so hard that their feet were off the ground, their helmets were stuck askew on the handles of their spears, and their hoarse shouts were drowned out by the noisy crowd as soon as they came out, like fallen leaves floating in a raging sea.

"Oh my god, how many people are there?" Xiao Wu stood on tiptoe to look around. Her emerald skirt was squeezed close to her calves. The steaming sweat in the air was mixed with the sweet aroma of caramel and roasted chestnuts. "Are they all here to watch the Soul Master Competition?"

"Maybe. A lot of people have come from nearby cities. In recent years, Da Mu's papers have become popular across the continent. Many ordinary people have also become interested in spirit masters and often discuss spirit master theories. It's normal for them to want to join in the fun."

Yu Xiaogang spoke more frequently than usual, and I wonder if it was to hide the confusion in his heart.

Flanders did not deliberately hide it, and Yu Xiaogang was able to guess the real purpose of coming to Tiandou City after a little thought.

But he still came, because he felt that he was no longer a waste with no future, and at least he could give Liu Erlong some response.

"Let's go to Lanba Academy first."

Flanders felt much better at the thought of meeting his third sister. His dark green cloak fluttered without wind, and as his soul power surged, a half-foot square area of ​​pure land was cleared among the crowd.

When the three figures disappeared into the shadow of the city gate, Yu Xiaogang looked back at the boiling sea of ​​people for the last time.

Twenty years have carved grooves in his sunken temples, but the image of that rainy night cannot be erased.

Under the shadow of the fire dragon in the rainstorm, Liu Erlong's wedding dress was as red as fire, and the gold foil flowers at the corners of her eyes were blurred by her tears into broken starlight.

A trace of guilt flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes and he clenched his fists. He came here to make up for his past mistakes and would not run away again.

At this time in Lanba Academy, Liu Erlong was frowning and sighing.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect closed the mountain and went into seclusion, causing a huge chain reaction.

Blue Tyrant Academy is not nominally under the jurisdiction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, but the president who founded the academy is a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and part of the academy's funding also comes from the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. The relationship between the two is not small.

Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has been attacked by the Spirit Hall, the Blue Tyrant Academy has lost half of its funding in the past two years.

The tuition fees of a few hundred civilian students alone cannot support the cost of maintaining the simulated environment.

"It's really troublesome. I'd rather fight soul beasts than deal with these trivial matters."

Liu Erlong was a gentle woman, but the words she said immediately destroyed this gentleness and exposed her true nature.
